Currently, fscrypt provides fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages() which decrypts a
bio's pages asynchronously, then unlocks them afterwards. But, this
assumes that decryption is the last "postprocessing step" for the bio,
so it's incompatible with additional postprocessing steps such as
authenticity verification after decryption.
Therefore, rename the existing fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages() to
fscrypt_enqueue_decrypt_bio(). Then, add fscrypt_decrypt_bio() which
decrypts the pages in the bio synchronously without unlocking the pages,
nor setting them Uptodate; and add fscrypt_enqueue_decrypt_work(), which
enqueues work on the fscrypt_read_workqueue. The new functions will be
used by filesystems that support both fscrypt and fs-verity.

Pull ext4 fixes from Ted Ts'o:
"Fix misc bugs and a regression for ext4"
* tag 'for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: add MODULE_SOFTDEP to ensure crc32c is included in the initramfs
ext4: fix bitmap position validation
ext4: set h_journal if there is a failure starting a reserved handle
ext4: prevent right-shifting extents beyond EXT_MAX_BLOCKS
Currently in ext4_valid_block_bitmap() we expect the bitmap to be
positioned anywhere between 0 and s_blocksize clusters, but that's
wrong because the bitmap can be placed anywhere in the block group. This
causes false positives when validating bitmaps on perfectly valid file
system layouts. Fix it by checking whether the bitmap is within the group
boundary.
The problem can be reproduced using the following
mkfs -t ext3 -E stride=256 /dev/vdb1
mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt/test
cd /mnt/test
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.16.3.tar.xz
tar xf linux-4.16.3.tar.xz
This will result in the warnings in the logs

Fixes: 7dac4a1726 ("ext4: add validity checks for bitmap block numbers")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
During the "insert range" fallocate operation, extents starting at the
range offset are shifted "right" (to a higher file offset) by the range
length. But, as shown by syzbot, it's not validated that this doesn't
cause extents to be shifted beyond EXT_MAX_BLOCKS. In that case
->ee_block can wrap around, corrupting the extent tree.
Fix it by returning an error if the space between the end of the last
extent and EXT4_MAX_BLOCKS is smaller than the range being inserted.
This bug can be reproduced by running the following commands when the
current directory is on an ext4 filesystem with a 4k block size:
fallocate -l 8192 file
fallocate --keep-size -o 0xfffffffe000 -l 4096 -n file
fallocate --insert-range -l 8192 file
Then after unmounting the filesystem, e2fsck reports corruption.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
several late changes that have only now just settled.
Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f1 ("fs, dax: use
page->mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.
The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
over 156 configs.
An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
passing all unit tests.
The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
need to wait for 4.18.
Summary:
- A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection
of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
starvation regressions.
- The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86

Previously, mount -l would show data=<mode> even if the ext4 default
journaling mode was being used. Change this to be consistent with the
rest of the options.
Ext4 already did the right thing when the journaling mode being used
matched the one specified in the superblock's default mount options. The
reason it failed to do the right thing for the ext4 defaults is that,
when set, they were never included in sbi->s_def_mount_opt (unlike the
superblock's defaults, which were).

Previously, /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/options would only show binary options
if they were set (1 in the options bit mask). E.g. it would show "grpid"
if it was set, but it would not show "nogrpid" if grpid was not set.
This seems sensible, but when an option is absent from the file, it can
be hard for the unfamiliar to know what is being used. E.g. if there
isn't a (no)grpid entry, nogrpid is in effect. But if there isn't a
(no)auto_da_alloc entry, auto_da_alloc is in effect. If there isn't a
(minixdf|bsddf) entry, it turns out bsddf is in effect. It all depends
on how the option is implemented.
It's clearer to be explicit, so print the corresponding option
regardless of whether it means a 1 or a 0 in the bit mask.
Note that options which do not have an explicit disable option aren't
indicated as being disabled even with this change (e.g. dax).

If the root directory has an i_links_count of zero, then when the file
system is mounted, then when ext4_fill_super() notices the problem and
tries to call iput() the root directory in the error return path,
ext4_evict_inode() will try to free the inode on disk, before all of

ext4 isn't validating the sizes of xattrs where the value of the xattr
is stored in an external inode. This is problematic because
->e_value_size is a u32, but ext4_xattr_get() returns an int. A very
large size is misinterpreted as an error code, which ext4_get_acl()
translates into a bogus ERR_PTR() for which IS_ERR() returns false,
causing a crash.
Fix this by validating that all xattrs are <= INT_MAX bytes.

ext4_iomap_begin() has a bug where offset returned in the iomap
structure will be truncated to unsigned long size. On 64-bit
architectures this is fine but on 32-bit architectures obviously not.
Not many places actually use the offset stored in the iomap structure
but one of visible failures is in SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA implementation.
If we create a file like:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=1k seek=8m count=1
then
lseek64("file", 0x100000000ULL, SEEK_DATA)
wrongly returns 0x100000000 on unfixed kernel while it should return

Currently in ext4 direct write path, we update i_disksize only when
new eof is greater than i_size, and don't update it even when new
eof is greater than i_disksize but less than i_size. This doesn't
work well with delalloc buffer write, which updates i_size and
i_disksize only when delalloc blocks are resolved (at writeback
time), the i_disksize from direct write can be lost if a previous
buffer write succeeded at write time but failed at writeback time,
then results in corrupted ondisk inode size.
Consider this case, first buffer write 4k data to a new file at
offset 16k with delayed allocation, then direct write 4k data to the
same file at offset 4k before delalloc blocks are resolved, which
doesn't update i_disksize because it writes within i_size(20k), but
the extent tree metadata has been committed in journal. Then
writeback of the delalloc blocks fails (due to device error etc.),
and i_size/i_disksize from buffer write can't be written to disk
(still zero). A subsequent umount/mount cycle recovers journal and
writes extent tree metadata from direct write to disk, but with
i_disksize being zero.
Fix it by updating i_disksize too in direct write path when new eof
is greater than i_disksize but less than i_size, so i_disksize is
always consistent with direct write.
This fixes occasional i_size corruption in fstests generic/475.

When reading the inode or block allocation bitmap, if the bitmap needs
to be initialized, do not update the checksum in the block group
descriptor. That's because we're not set up to journal those changes.
Instead, just set the verified bit on the bitmap block, so that it's
not necessary to validate the checksum.
When a block or inode allocation actually happens, at that point the
checksum will be calculated, and update of the bg descriptor block
will be properly journalled.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Ross Zwisler:
- Require struct page by default for filesystem DAX to remove a number
of surprising failure cases. This includes failures with direct I/O,
gdb and fork(2).
- Add support for the new Platform Capabilities Structure added to the
NFIT in ACPI 6.2a. This new table tells us whether the platform
supports flushing of CPU and memory controller caches on unexpected
power loss events.
- Revamp vmem_altmap and dev_pagemap handling to clean up code and
better support future future PCI P2P uses.
- Deprecate the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command whose payload has
become out-of-sync with recent versions of the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL
spec, and instead rely on the generic ND_CMD_CALL approach used by
the two other IOCTL families, NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}.
- Enhance nfit_test so we can test some of the new things added in
version 1.6 of the DSM specification. This includes testing firmware
download and simulating the Last Shutdown State (LSS) status.

Merge tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux
Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
"This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8
A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

...
Add a documentation blob that explains what the i_version field is, how
it is expected to work, and how it is currently implemented by various
filesystems.
We already have inode_inc_iversion. Add several other functions for
manipulating and accessing the i_version counter. For now, the
implementation is trivial and basically works the way that all of the
open-coded i_version accesses work today.
Future patches will convert existing users of i_version to use the new
API, and then convert the backend implementation to do things more
efficiently.

Bring the ext4 filesystem in line with xfs that only warns and continues
when the "-o dax" option is specified to mount and the backing device
does not support dax. This is in preparation for removing dax support
from devices that do not enable get_user_pages() operations on dax
mappings. In other words 'gup' support is required and configurations
that were using so called 'page-less' dax will be converted back to
using the page cache.
Removing the broken 'page-less' dax support is a pre-requisite for
removing the "EXPERIMENTAL" warning when mounting a filesystem in dax
mode.

In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
ext4_inode_cache slab cache in which userspace copy operations are
allowed.
This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

fscrypt_put_encryption_info() is only called when evicting an inode, so
the 'struct fscrypt_info *ci' parameter is always NULL, and there cannot
be races with other threads. This was cruft left over from the broken
key revocation code. Remove the unused parameter and the cmpxchg().
Also remove the #ifdefs around the fscrypt_put_encryption_info() calls,
since fscrypt_notsupp.h defines a no-op stub for it.
